Vertical Wheelchair Lifts
Commercial vertical platform lifts that can be installed unenclosed or in a vertical runway by others. Indoor/Outdoor use.
Acme screw drive / Model HBC - Hydraulic drive
The BC and HBC accessibility equipment models are manufactured as an unenclosed lift. This accessibility equipment unit is often installed within a vertical runway built by others. In some commercial settings, where the travel distance is less than 5 feet, a BC or HBC may be installed without a vertical runway. Because of its versatility, this model can overcome accessibility barriers in a variety of different settings. Common applications include: churches, libraries, restaurants, and schools. National Wheel-O-Vator can supply a wide variety of flush mounted (fire rated or non-fire rated) doors. Local codes and regulations will specify the type of door permitted in your area.
FSV Package
The fastest screw driven vertical platform lift available in the market today. The FSV package allows for travel speeds up to 30 feet per minute on all of our Acme Screw Drive units,which means you get to your destination up to 3 times faster than other vertical platform lifts.
Standby Power Package
An optional standby power package is available on all our screw drive vertical platform lifts. This package allows the unit to be raised or lowered under emergency battery power. (The hydraulic unit comes standard with battery power.)
Extruded Aluminum Enclosure — Package
For those seeking a vertical platform lift with a contemporary look and feel, an extruded aluminum enclosure package is available for our Model CDE and PCDE. This package includes aluminum side guards, complimented by a stainless steel grab rail and call/sends. Our aluminum grab rail is a required option on all commercial lifts.
Steel Face Plate
A stainless steel face plate with emergency platform lighting is available as an option. To make the unit more secure, an on/off keyed switch can be added on all operating panels.
Low Profile Carriage
We encourage all vertical platform lifts to be installed in a pit to provide the user an unobstructed entrance to the unit. However, many applications cannot be pitted and a lower level ramp is required. Ramps are typically 30" long. Our "low profile carriage" option is available on all enclosed vertical platform lifts. This feature reduces the lower landing height by approximately 50%. National Wheel-O-Vator’s design reduces the ramp length to 16" in new construction and as short as 10" in existing construction. The low profile carriage decreases the total space required and greatly enhances user convenience.
